Starting to get into the watch scene, I own a few nixons, a daily timex for in the shop that I can get oil on and not even remotely care but I’ve been looking for something a bit nicer and something I geniuely love. So after searching for a few weeks I think I’m set on the vintage Bulova Accutron Spaceview between 64-67… Thoughts? Things to look for etc ---

You really have to try hard to get burned on a watch like Bulova, it’s not like there are replicas out there. ---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ---------- With that being said, this god damned Omega is so fucking heavy compared to the Breitlings and Submariner I have.

travisn, I would recommend snagging this: [http://1saleaday.com/watch/](http://1saleaday.com/watch/) I’m not a seiko fan since I got burned on the last one, but I’m pretty sure the seiko 5 is pretty well liked by the folks that ARE into seiko watches. I think it’s likely the best you’re gonna do at that price point. ---

Man, you really want to have your cake and eat it too. Nixon watches are mechanically crap. You’re paying for the fashion. ---

Well like I said, it’s just to try out to see if I even like to wear a watch every day. It doesnt need to keep impeccable time or have unlimited battery life. So yea, mostly for look/feel. all show, no go. ---

38mm? That size is pretty small, but at least it’s lightweight. ---
